Game Reviews

The Legend of Heroes franchise is one of Nihon Falcom’s most recognizable franchises (aside from the Ys series.) The character development, storyline, and mechanics of the Trails in the Sky series are some of my...

Wrestling has been around for a long time, and the games have been around for quite some time as well, some good, some bad and some excellent. Surprisingly enough, the PlayStation and N64 era had...

The Italian Renaissance is often regarded as one of the most important and creative periods in human history. The setting has been used greatly in the Assassin's Creed series, and also used as an inspiration...

Japan has known Type-Moon for almost 20 years as an organization of story-tellers. They've developed novels, manga, animes, and video games spanning many genres. Their longest lived narrative by far is the Fate/ series. Fate/EXTELLA: The...

You can’t take two swipes of the mouse across Steam without seeing a dungeon crawler. In fact, they’re everywhere! It seems that indie developers are taking the genre by storm. There’s good reason why lonesome...

Sundered is a game that appeals to a lot of what I like in games. The genre is a fantastic open exploration game in the style of what most would call the “Metroidvania” genre. The...

Once upon a time, I was tasked to review The Red Solstice, and from what I recall I had a generally good time. It was a sci-fi horror shooter based on Mars that never tried...

Sony's PS Vita is dying a very slow death, which is sad, the little handheld is an amazing console that really never took off as it should have. I know that Nintendo's mighty 3DS is...

The recent release of the two Fallen Legion games is an interesting take on telling a story from two different points of views, across two different systems. While Fallen Legion: Sins of an Empire may...

I didn't have the pleasure of enjoying my first Metroid game until Metroid Fusion, which is a great game in its own right but it wasn't until 2012 when I would be able to experience my favorite Metroid game...

Fallen Legion: Sins of an Empire takes a novel approach to the telling of its story. The game released on PlayStation 4 and follows the adventures of Cecille, the young woman who would be the...

Classic RPGs have always been my favorite. The concept of a job system, turn-based gameplay, and colorful, charming 16-bit graphics were a large part of my gaming history growing up. Tangledeep seeks to capitalize on...

I am a huge fan of the game Mirror's Edge; I loved the first-person parkour of the title and was sorely disappointed in the prequel Catalyst. One can only play the first game so many times...

Sometimes, a super cute game comes along that sets impossible standards for all other games in my life. Once, that was Yoshi's Story. After that, the sweetness of Wind Waker stole my heart. This year's...

After an intense session of the new, fast-paced shooter, Crash Force, the game Semispheres was a welcome calm. The two games couldn't be more different. One is loud, energetic, and explosive. The other is quiet,...

Sometimes, after a rough day in the real world, I look forward to playing an intense game at home. Something that takes so much focus that I can't think about anything else. Crash Force is...

I have been following Children of Zodiarcs for some time now. I was greatly pleased when it broke past its Kickstarter goal and multiplied it by five, earning $259,593 Canadian dollars, as opposed to its...

The online multiplayer market is flooded with .io games. So many developers are copying each other, producing spin-offs (and rip-offs) within an extremely promising genre. Today, I’m happy to have found a truly unique, worthwhile...

There is no secret that I have an affinity for survival horror games, the very short Alan Wake series is one of my favorites. However, I found out after playing the stand-alone American Nightmare, that...

I’ve got a lot of digital blood on my hands. I’ve run down crowds of Liberty City pedestrians, tea-bagged noob corpses and squashed the life out of thousands of hapless, unarmed goombas. In most games,...

I think it's safe to say that many of us fear for the future of the world. For some, it's based on an undeniable, terrifying past. Black The Fall takes us on a fictional journey...

As a guy whose life is deeply entrenched in music, I expected AereA to be the perfect melding of my two favorite worlds: RPGs and music. After hours and hours of what feels like wasted...

I suppose it is unfair to say that Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator 2 is pretty much the same game as Revelator 1, what with the new additions to the roster, the massive balance changes, and...

I started playing Baobabs Mausoleum without knowing what to expect. I guessed by the trailer that it might be a bit unusual, but I had no idea how weird things would get. Let me set...

Let's get this out of the way; I'm a huge Kingdom Hearts fan through and through. However, I do see many flaws with the games that can't be overlooked, especially the original. This game manages...

Nintendo's handhelds have been the last bastion for quality, niche RPG's; whether they are Japanese or Americanized they usually are amazing. Ever Oasis is another title to be proudly written on the long list of...
